To quote the website, "...Dave Friedman was hired as staff photographer for Shelby-American Inc., the racing design and construction shop owned by former driver Carroll Shelby. Here, Friedman had the unique opportunity to document the development of one of racing’s iconic cars, the Shelby Cobra. In 1966 and 1967, Friedman was hired by Ford Motor Company to document the company’s racing program. Friedman captured the final development of the first American-designed and built racecars that dominated the grueling 24-Hours of Le Mans race between 1966 and 1969. After moving into the film industry, Friedman continued to pursue his passion for motor sports into the 1990s..."

Thanks John, Daves photos are just stunning, and feature in several books I own. Several appear in Daytona Cobra Coupes which Friedman was involved with.
